https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Custom-analysis-for-remote-machine/m-p/798140#M1395 Hi all,<BR /><BR />I have the following setup: I want to profile/analyze a multi-threaded application on a 4 Socket WestmereEX machine, which has Amplifier XE installed. Because this machine is for benchmarking and analyses only, there is no desktop installed (hence, no x-forward possible). I use the Amplifier GUI on my local desktop to configure tests and to view results. I use the Amplifier Command Line tool to execute the tests on the 4 socket machine remotly.<BR /><BR />I would like to create a custom analysis that uses hardware performance counters for this setup. Unfortunately, I cannot do so because Amplifier on my local desktop tells me that the CPU does not support it (i.e., CPU is unknown)... this even makes the Amplifier GUI crash. I cannot tell him to "expect" a Nehalem or Westmere CPU...<BR /><BR />Is there any way to overcome this problem? Thanks!<BR />- tim Fri, 02 Mar 2012 08:25:16 GMT tim_kiefer 2012-03-02T08:25:16Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Custom-analysis-for-remote-machine/m-p/798140#M1395 Hi all,<BR /><BR />I have the following setup: I want to profile/analyze a multi-threaded application on a 4 Socket WestmereEX machine, which has Amplifier XE installed.

However, you can create a command line on the remote machine to collect hardware based sampling using the -collect-with option and event-config knob. The article <A href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/event-configuration-from-the-command-line/">Event Configuration from the Command Line</A> details how to construct such a command line.<BR /><BR />I believe there is an enhancement request for this functionality. I will attach the enhancement to this forum thread so the thread can be updated.<BR /><BR />- Rob</P> Fri, 02 Mar 2012 23:37:07 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Analyzers/Custom-analysis-for-remote-machine/m-p/798141#M1396 Rob5 2012-03-02T23:37:07Z
